This feature allows you to be able to hear your voice when you speak as though you are sitting in a room with others just talking. HDMI adapter: UGREEN Micro HDMI to HDMI AdapterĪlt webcam (incase of device or config failure): Logitech c930e This setup simply does not work with a battery - on battery, one 30 minute zoom call and you'll be without video for the rest of the day. There are options for capture devices but this is super common and is simple to setup.Ĭamera continuous power: Camera AC Power Adapter Kit This is the key component that allows your computer to see the camera as a valid video capture device. This transfers the data that is being streamed from the camera to your machine. This can vary but I find this utility lens to fit for most of the applications that I use the setup for. TIP: Make sure the camera you choose gives you the ability to turn off output info (HUD information) over HDMI otherwise it will output to your streamĬamera: Fujifilm X-E3 Mirrorless Digital Camera - Silver This is one of the reasons going with a mirrorless camera might be the best option. TIP: Many DSLR cameras will have an automatic shut off due to heat from the reflex mirror / sensor, this can bode poorly for long calls or casts. The hardware is broken out into four(4) separate categories video, audio, mounting, and lighting
This is a multi purpose setup that is used for screen casting, frequent video calls, streaming, and so on - it is versatile. If you want one of those you can go with something like the logitech brio. Note, this is not just a glorified webcam.If you're considering buying something make sure to shop around. I've provided links (no affiliate junk or anything) to the hardware below for reference.I have gone through a few iterations to get something that has worked for me - expect to do the same.There are many, many different ways that audio and video can be configured for an at home solution - this is just one of those ways. I'm simply providing details on what I landed on for my setup - it has worked for me, it might not for you.All setups tend to be unique but some of the tips below will transcend hardware and software.We're going to visit the two(2) aspects of this setup - Hardware, Software/ Configuration.īefore we do, here are some things that need to be highlighted so that you read this with the right context in mind: While not all platforms and devices are supported, it is definitely a step in the right direction for quality and connectedness.

Update : I failed to mention that many of the big names in DSLR and Mirrorless are making it really easy to use your device as a "webcam". The kids and I would stream to a local maker space where looking at PCBs and wiring layouts made fine tune control over video a must - so this setup is built with that use case in mind. While my setup is not basic, it's also not too complex and out of reach in terms of cost. Folks once poked fun at the seemingly "high quality" of my audio and video - but as time passed and with the growing need for a quality connection with others seems to have made quality communication important again. I often get asked what my audio and video setup is at my home office when in zoom calls.
Needless to say poor bandwidth, bad audio, and subpar video quality only serve to make connecting with others feel down right uncomfortable.
Given the rise of distributed working many people new to it have found this remote thing a bit disorienting.
